    two chairs and a table
    Cristine G.

    Stopped by after a 5K run. El diablo dark roast coffee hit the spot. Staff were attentive. It's a bustling little cafe, moderate noise inside but we were still able to have a conversation. It's been two years since our visit, the breakfast plate I ordered was the standard bacon, eggs, and toast. Maybe next time, I'll be more adventurous as their menu looked promising.

    Went to Sugar Rush cafe with some friends that flew into town on a whim. They have been in Walnut for quite awhile but I had never been to this restaurant before. I got the cinnamon raisin French toast loaf with the candied bananas - I could eat a giant bowl of the warm bananas if given the option (haha). I don't usually use syrup on my French toast so I used the bananas as my syrup and they paired beautifully with the raisin French toast. The eggs were cooked as requested and big slices of bacon were provided. My husband got a burger to go and we tasted his fries (I don't normally eat fried food but those fries were GOOD). We have been back since and hope they reopen soon (after the NY!)

    It's still one of our favorite breakfast or brunch places in Walnut. If you want fresh and delicious meals, then you are in the right place. We took our friends from out of state to have a big breakfast there, and they were impressed by the taste, presentation, and portion. They also liked their coffee and tea. The food was so good and we especially liked their hashbrowns, waffles, and sandwiches. The place is cozy and they have a huge menu and we liked the food we've tried so far.

    Nice little cafe serving good breakfast. Was recommended this place by an old instructor and surely did not disappoint. Staff were all very friendly and helpful paired along the cozy ambiance of a cafe. Opted for their cinnamon raison french toast combo, steak & eggs, Iced Angelino. Everything was quite tasty. The only dislike was their "caramelized bananas" and iced angelino. The caramlized bananaes were essentially just sliced bananas and strawberries in a sweet syrup. The, coffee, on other hand, tasted like an ordinary coffee. But, nonetheless, everything else was quite satisfying.

    Sugar Rush Cafe is a neighborhood gem that locals frequent. It is a small family owned business so you get delicious cooked meals without the overly inflated price. The owner is very nice and friendly. The restaurant is small with approximately 10 tables but it is very comfortable place for breakfast with friends and family. My favorite is their 2 Eggs Breakfast with choice of protein, which comes with their hash brown and a side of toast. Highly recommended!

    Brunch for our last day in California. This place was a very close to our hotel and had good reviews. We arrive first thing I noticed where limited parking that was the only complaint of the visit. It was very comfy cozy inside the yellow wise made it very welcoming the server Came in that our drink order right away. We ordered raisin French toast and the chicken spinach melt area. I paired my sandwich with a caramel latte, which was worth every penny. I paid for it. Our food came out surprising real quick. We were very high. I would definitely visit again. Sidenote I would be cautious on parties larger than four or five because the place is small and shine.

    Sugar rush,我很喜歡的一家早餐店,雖然他們的地點比較偏僻,但是我去的時候幾乎都是人聲鼎沸的,原因也很簡單,因為他們的東西實在,份量又大,服務態度又好,東西又好吃的原因加起來我相信已經是很多人心中的小廚房了,如果你還不知道這家店,你真的應該來吃看看,你就很喜歡然後會常常回來

    Coming here now sucks because the food is very mid. We used to enjoy their special waffles but they got rid of it a long time ago. Now its overpriced Dennys quality food

    It's been a while since my first review, but I have visited several times since then. Sugar Rush Café was one of our local weekday lunch spots, but we've only been in the office 1 day a week for a long time, so my experiences have been fewer and further between. My most recent visit was the same experience that I've had in the past. The food is very good, you get large portions, and they serve breakfast all day. The service is fast, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's great. The staff rushes to get orders taken and prepared, but they're not overly friendly. The ladies in the kitchen take pride in the food they make, and it shows, but sometimes things are done so quickly that a request like "no onions" is missed. Also, the prices are a little more expensive than other similar places.

    Looking for a local cafe and found Sugar Rush cafe close by the house. They have been established for 16 years and I didn't even know. First impression is always and usually right. My first thought as I came in the door was it's going to be okay. It's actually more than okay. This is mom and pop little cafe. Serving breakfast and lunch. Their hours of operation is short from 7am-2pm. It's a small cafe , just about 7-8 table inside only . No patio. It's kind of hidden between industrial offices and buildings. First thing I noticed, is that they are a bit dated but they kept the place clean and organized. Looks like the owners take pride in their operation and cafe. That is so important to have great food but a clean environment to enjoy too. And they got both. I enjoyed my breakfast and the latte. I spoke to the owner himself and he's super friendly. A very hard working guy. I'll definitely will go back again for my quick breakfast and latte.

    This place is awesome! It can be missed if you drive too fast down Valley Blvd, so pay attention. Co-worker and I were craving diner food but the good kind of diner food. We came across this spot and gave it a try for lunch. Don't underestimate a smaller size establishment as you can be missing out on some really good service and food. We both got the grilled chicken spinach panini sandwich. I added the sweet potato fries and an Emerald Hot green tea. Sooooo gooood. The tea was tasty- cute tea pot with an infuser for the legit herbals. I added some honey and I was feeling my Friday! The sandwich had such good flavor with the spinach and grilled cheese added. Honestly, a very good Chicken sandwich. The service was attentive, good music, clean and fast- within my lunch hour so we were happy! We vowed to return for waffles and pancakes and service again. Such a friendly environment.

    Their AMAZING, pour over coffee!!!!

    EXCELLENT FOOD, EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, impeccably CLEAN, great music! Ray's Favorite is MY absolute favorite!! But the entire menu is FANTASTIC!!! The smoothies are delicious as well. But the pour over coffee is to die fo

    You'd never expect to find this where it is. It's located in a warehouse/industrial area on Valley Blvd between Walnut and Pomona. Despite this, it's a great breakfast and lunch place. Once inside, you're met with the owners & servers who are very friendly and inviting. Not the biggest restaurant, but clean and nicely decorated. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I've been told by others that they serve premium coffee. Their food is fresh and quality made. I've been here for breakfast and it never disappoints. You can tell they take pride in making your food in just the appearance alone. Everything comes out looking like it could belong on a cover of a food magazine - and the taste matches! Definitely recommend coming here if you can.

Slightly sour, but fruity coffee. Overall, I enjoyed it. Good mouthfeel too. Good temperature, it wasn't too hot nor luke warm. MANGO MATCHA At first taste, it tasted more like guava. But it was indeed mango. But a fake mango flavor. The mango flavor was there, but could not taste the matcha. It wasn't bad, but I had better mango matchas elsewhere. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was okay. Not bad, but not great. Staff could smile more than just stare at you. Even say "Hello" or "Welcome" when you walk in the coffee shop. LOCATION Located in a small strip mall at Golden Springs Plaza. Parking is medium-sized for the amount of businesses here. I had no issues finding parking in front of the coffee shop, although more and more parking spots were being taken. AMBIANCE + SEATS The ambiance was relaxing. No loud music. Lots of people coming in and working on their laptops. Five small tables for two in the center. Along the wall there were bar seats for 19-20 people. There's a long communal table in the center for seats for 4-5 people. At the front and to the side, there were 3 tables for two. Outdoor tables for two right outside the cafe. Bathroom is outside of the cafe and you have to enter the other part of the building with a bathroom code to unlock. Will I visit again? Maybe if I'm in the area. But I'm in no rush to come back.

    Only tried roasted oolong milk tea - not bad but not great?…read more It is more roasted tasting that I expected but that's good since tea taste stands out. The boba is soft and chewy. I don't like the fact it's one size and it's the smaller one. Ambiance looks cozy for the high schoolers to hang out!

    I had a poor experience at Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut). I ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea…read more($4.75) w/ Whole Milk (75 cents) and Brown Sugar Boba (additional 75 cents). Unfortunately, it's a frugal, bland drink with tasteless, squishy boba. There's no tea flavor.... this drink tastes like tap water with milk. (Quick Note: If you don't request milk, they use powder.) I arrived at Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut) on Friday (around 12:24PM). The customer parking lot had plenty of spots. Parking is easy. Customers order at the counter or self-service kiosk. Staff is welcoming, laid back, and helpful. My drink took about three minutes. Quick. As mentioned, I disliked the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea ($4.75) w/ Whole Milk (75 cents) and Brown Sugar Boba (additional 75 cents). It tastes like "nothing." The flavor of watered-down milk and water jello balls encapsulates its flavor profile. The boba was not bouncy; rather, the texture resembles deflated marshmallows. However, the lovely ambiance at Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut) is the ONLY reason why the review score is so high. Despite the awful, frugal drinks, this business is a college student's hidden paradise. The location is very clean, calming, and comfortable. There's about 15 tables, and there's about 8 electrical outlets. There's also customer internet with password; the details are on a small card at the counter. This location also has a self-service water station and a gender neutral restroom. Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut) is also decorated lovingly. I appreciated the book aesthetic and the hanging leaves. It's also very quiet inside. The location felt like a well-ventilated, comfy library. If searching for a study spot, this is such an easy recommendation. Overall, I had a mixed experience at Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut). The location is a cozy, creative study/work spot, but the tea is very bland, poorly made, and unmemorable. This business screams wasted potential. Currently, Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut) is a not bad place. Drink - 1 out of 5 Ambiance - 4.7 out of 5 2.9 out of 5

For the pastries, it looked like a lot of the ones I was hoping from browsing online were not available. I ended up getting the biscoff cheesecake. It was on the sweeter side but it was very good. For the drink, I ended up getting the banana latte. Been on a streak of getting that lately so wanted to compare with other stores. I didn't get a lot of banana in the taste. At least it had an espresso shot for the caffeine fix and did not taste like the artificial banana. Nothing special there and stand out. For the interior, they had a few seating they primarily accommodated a few groups of four and two. I was able to grab a bench seat that had an outlet. However, there wasn't enough space for my laptop and the items I ordered. WiFi was available but it had a 90 minute limit. The store had a moderate noise level and stayed busy throughout the time that I was there. The service on the order was quick and they do bring it out to you. The store also has their own house espresso which was a medium dark roast. American Express is accepted as a payment option here. Overall, it was a decent work spot. If I come back, I'd prefer to try another drink and hope other pastries are available. Would recommend the biscoff cheesecake for those that want something sweet and the house coffee beans for those that like medium roasts.

    I came here specifically because for the Biscoff latte. I was surprised that they only offered it…read morehot, but it was good nonetheless. They smeared Biscoff spread on the cup and used just enough syrup so that I could taste the cookie butter but not to the point where it was overly sweet. In fact, I would argue that it wasn't that sweet at all and the espresso was a lot stronger. There were a few cookie crumbs at the bottom too so I'm not sure if they incorporated it in the syrup or if it just sank to the bottom by the time I got my drink. I also tried the hot horchata latte but it seemed more like a regular latte sprinkled with cinnamon powder because there didn't seem to be any syrup. I loved the vibes on the rainy Monday I visited and a lot of people were in there working or studying, since there were outlets against the wall. The workers were nice and approachable, and the drinks came out quickly.

This one is just a Coffee Lab, so it doesn't have the extensive baked goods like the Cerritos location, but still has a decent selection towards the cashier area. Some refrigerated chubby cakes and slices, canned and bottled drinks, and then some pre-wrapped baked goods like bread, cookies, mochi, etc. They can warm it for you too I believe. With the increase of Smoking Tigers, I heard from my friend that also frequents these that they're cutting a lot from their menu, food and drink wise. My beloved choco mugwort, please return as a seasonal drink at least. Staff is super friendly and helpful. I was on the fence about ordering a limited seasonal Yakult cold brew style drink but feared that it was going to be more sour than a standard Yakult because of the cold brew and after explaining the flavor profile thoroughly, I opted for a safer drink that I've had before. Their banana milk latte. I'm a caffeine addict and this was a good pick me up. Not super strong and didn't zute me immediately, but this is perfect for those slow release caffeine people who like to sip on their drinks. Perfect banana milk taste after mixing and a perfect coffee for me, not too bitter or sour lol. There's outlets at the tables near the window and lots of places to sit down and hang out. Plenty of parking but it can get busy since a lot of people are in the plaza to go to 99 Ranch or the other businesses (restaurants, shopping, tea, etc.) but also everyone hates parking at the plaza across the street so they're parking here and walking over haha... It's insane this used to be a Diamond Bakery. They've existed since the 70's and 80's and there's only 2 left in existence (Vegas and MPK). Really makes you think of the passage of time. ANYWAYS, there's a point system if you sign up with your phone number and an app where you can access deals, order ahead of time, send gifts, and they have special days each month!
